I can’t even remember the last time I made a Solo Cookie. And when I say I can’t even remember – I actually mean I haven’t made one since I first “invented” the recipe.
Since I always seem to have the remnants of canned pumpkin hiding somewhere in the back on the fridge, I decided that making a Solo Cookie was a good move. Apparently pumpkin can take the place of just about any ingredient, so the recipe for this particular SC is a bit different from the original.
[ Loaded ] Pumpkin Solo Cookie.
ingredients:
- 2 tbsp whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp ground flax
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp pumpkin
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract
directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place the dry (first four) ingredients into a bowl.
After combining the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients (pumpkin, maple syrup, and vanilla) and combine. The result will be a thick batter.
Add mix-ins of your choice. I went with crushed walnuts and dark chocolate chips.
Place the blob of dough on a parchment-lined (or greased) baking sheet. And yes, blob is a technical term.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
This cookie was a bit on the cakey side, but still delicious. I wrapped it in foil and brought to work for a mid-morning snack.
I actually just realized that this is a vegan Solo Cookie. Clearly I’m looking out for singles and vegans alike 
check it: to buy or not to buy organic?
I’ll be the first to admit that I simply can’t afford to buy all organic food…
…I’m a big believer that pesticides can lead to health problems, though, so I was excited when WebMD put together a slideshow guide of what foods you should buy organic and which ones you can get away with buying conventional. I found this to be quite informative, so I thought you would too.

Time to get to work! Enjoy your Tuesday, loves. xoxo G
- How important is it to you to buy organic foods?
- Are you sick of seeing pumpkin recipes yet?
love your blog. i sent you an email. i’m from where you are from!
Um YUM!!!! I’m always looking for a sweet treat in the evenings, i’ll have to try that!
I must try a solo cookie!
And we definitely can’t afford to buy all organic. We buy what we can!
That’s a huge cookie-I love it! And I try to buy organic when I can but with my budget there are things I can’t go organic on. You do what you can, right?
Thank you for posting this! It gets so confusing, on what foods are best to buy organic! =)
Cookies! I desperately need a cookie! Tnx for posting this, I’ll try that one soon
Love that cookie recipe. Can’t wait to try it! My budget doesn’t allow me to buy everything organic. I try to go by the “Dirty Dozen” and the “Clean 15″ lists that tell me what I should buy organic and what I don’t really need to worry about. I do the best I can.
I will never get sick of seeing pumpkin recipes! I love pumpkin anything and everything that I can find!
I would love to buy more organic products but unfortunately it is way too expensive and out of my budget. Hopefully one day prices will be lowered.
Cookie for 1 is what I need most days…sometimes I just need to satisfy my sweet tooth with 1 cookie and I’m happy.
NO, not sick of all the pumpkin recipes. Keep them coming..I have enough pumpkin puree to last me until next Thanksgiving so I will be making them all year
I try to buy the dirty dozen as organic.. Can’t afford to spend too many organic dollars these days-but when I can, that’s where the $ goes!
One is not the loneliest number here!
I was chatting up with someone yesterday about organic, I am all for healthy food and get so frustrated at the jacked up costs.
I wish I could always buy organic! If I buy conventionally grown fruits such as peaches I usually don’t eat the peel.
And I will never be sick of pumpkin!
Blasphemy! Sick of pumpkin recipes? Talk to me next March and I’ll let you know
Sick of pumpking recipes!?? Is that possible? Don’t have to worry about that one with me
I’m a university student, so I definitely don’t have the money to buy all organic. But I do try to buy some when I can- I just watch for sales!
hahahah i have neve ever seen a one cookie recipe thats just to adorable anddoale b/c i only cook for me!
Yummy!
I will never be tired of pumpkin recipes!
I don’t buy organic as much as I buy produce with PLU codes other than 8 (if the PLU code begins with 8 it means the produce has been genetically modified).
Thanks for the link to the slideshow! Yay, organics!
I am not sick of seeing pumpkin recipes at ALL. In fact, your solo cookie recipe looks perfect for a portable breakfast:).
No im definitly not sick of seeing pumpkin recipes yet! Its totally my favorite fall food.
and same. I like to buy organic but to buy everything organic is simply wayy to expensive.
oh and im defintly making the SC today or sometime this week for sure!
never sick of pumpkin recipes! I’ve never made a solo cookie though, I like to share
I love solo cookies- they’re perfect for when you want just one cookie, not a whole darn batch. Looks yummy, too!
I’m with you - cannot afford all organic fruits + veggies so I try to choose wisely.
I love recipes for single servings (even though I just got married!), sometimes I just need a treat for me. I love pumpkin - a flood of recipes for a couple months a year is A-OK with me! xo
Today was totally a day for a solo cookie. It’s been one of THOSE days. Got one in the oven right now. Thanks girl!
That cookie looks amazing! I know I’ll be craving some pumpkin treats once I’ve finished off my pumpkin pie leftovers, so I’m definitely bookmarking this recipe!
Right now I just buy organic apples. It’s way too expensive to buy everything organic! Plus, my supermarket has a really tiny organic selection.
I love the solo cookie! I just made one.. it was delicious! I’ll never get sick of pumpkin recipes. I try to buy organic whenever I can, if the items are the same price or a few cents more then I always choose organic!
Yay - so glad you liked it!
this is.. PERFECT!! going on my MUST TRY LIST ASAP!
YAY!! single serving cookie recipe!! for breakfast too <3 <3
